A second train to Portland.

Via Richard at Just a Gwai Lo, here’s some good news for those of us who like taking trips down the coast. Next week, Amtrak’s going to start running a second train into Vancouver each day. The best part is when the southbound train will leave. Right now, Amtrak’s train comes up in the morning and leaves at night. But having a second train will mean there’s a train leaving in the morning and coming back up at night. That’s perfect for people who want to spend a weekend in Seattle or Portland.
